Coulter Rails on Abortion, Says Dems Support Murder

New York (CNSNews.com) - Conservative columnist Ann Coulter drew heady
applause Wednesday in a front of a pro-life crowd when she referred to
Democrats as murderers, adulterers and liars.
"The Republican Party is the party of life," Coulter said. "The Democratic
Party is the party of violating the Ten Commandments. Therefore, murder,
abortion; therefore, lying, which everybody does; therefore, adultery, which
everybody also does and they have to lie about it."
Coulter spoke to the Republican National Coalition for Life, a group headed
by longtime conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly. More than 600 supporters
paid $125 each to attend the overbooked luncheon at a Central Park
restaurant.
"God help us if the Democratic Party ever abandons its three major planks:
abortion, gay marriage and banning the Boy Scouts," Coulter said to applause
"They're now trying to skip a step and see if they can abort any future Boy
Scouts."
The controversial Coulter, who was fired by USA Today as a columnist during
the Democratic National Convention, ripped the media for rephrasing
abortion-related terms in news stories.
"There are no lies so Orwellian," Coulter said. "Abortion itself, of course,
is a choice. The act of abortion is a procedure. The abortionist is an
abortion provider. Children are fetuses. The New York Times unrelentingly
insists on referring to partial-birth abortion as 'so-called' partial-birth
abortion or 'what its opponents like to call partial-birth abortion.' "
Coulter also joked that abortion supporters should think about naming their
offices after famous advocates for their cause. She suggested, for instance,
the "Senator Ted Kennedy Abortion Clinic."
On a political note, Coulter advised Republicans not to retreat on the
abortion issue. She told reporters afterward that the party's conservative
wing shouldn't be jealous of the moderates who have been given primetime
speaking roles.
"It's a complete liberal media myth," Coulter said of the supposed
infighting. "It's not like they're going and finding some little-known
congressman who happens to have made a pro-choice statement at some point."
Two featured speakers, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former New
York mayor Rudy Giuliani, support abortion rights, but neither raised the
issue and both were well received by the audience.

Atheism teaches that there is no God, hence no God-given rights. That
ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.
